FAQs

• Q-Is the recycling in my department or academic building actually being picked up and recycled? Or is it going to the trash?

• Q-Do on-campus wood-frame and rental properties have the same recycling system that the rest of the University uses?   
  
  A-All houses, on-campus and rental, are serviced by the City of Middletown, which has a different system than Wesleyan. Detailed information on acceptable materials and pick-up schedules are available in this web site under the houses sub-category of the "where" section.

• Q-How do I get a bin for my residence hall room, office, department office, or event?
